When you guys start showing up for LEC and MEC meetings as well as the picketing events, then maybe I’ll think about commuters when I deadhead home. Until then, you can go … you know the thing.
How about that for unity.

Flight attendants have an FAA certificate the same as us as well. Should they get to ride our Jumpseats also?

Mechanics also hold FAA licenses.
